About this postcard

A dark, forested shoreline or island lies in the middle distance, with the snow-covered peaks of Mount McKinley, Mount Foraker, and Mount Russell rising across the water under a pale sky. The caption calls the scene a midnight view, a nod to the long summer daylight of the far north, when the sky can stay bright well into the night. Mount McKinley, the highest peak in North America, and its neighbors Foraker and Russell are part of the Alaska Range.
